They are still re-opening/re-arranging areas of the old mines for the people. You can get on the terrain without paying a fee and just walk around. There is also a cycling path. I would suggest to visit the museum. The very long escalator is a highlight itself. There is plenty to see. You can have a drink afterwards at the cafe. Plenty of parkingspaces. The area is also good accessable by train. Everywhere in Essen you see pictures of the Zollverein. Happy I finally got to meet it, in real life????.

At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture. Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.

This is no ordinary park, from the beautiful forests, to the lakes, and green belts, this park has it all.A skyway, a old pirate ship playground, a sky tower, and miles and miles of beautiful paths to wander down. One could spend the whole day there and never see it all. The most Beautiful park I have ever enjoyed!

The Archaeological Park is a place I go to every few years and each time it gets better. Roman Xanten was a significant city with merchants, traders, a large temple, a bathhouse and an arena. The scientists and educators at the park have been working consistently to explore the site and reveal what the can in a manner that's accessible and informative. On this last trip I managed to spend some in the reconstructed workshops of the craftsmen who made clothes and footwear for the Romans. It was incredibly informative and I learned quite a bit. I only wish I had more time. One of the great things about the park is that it's not overburdened with a lot of gimmicks. It's really quite a pleasant place that doesn't beat you over the head. You can spend hours there and focus on what you find interesting. If you are ever on the Lower Rhine this is a very worthwhile place to visit.

Here you can spend a nice day/night and that without entrance fee. If you are free from giddiness, you can climb up to the top of the blast furnace (approx. 80 meters) and enjoy the fantastic view of the surrounding area. Hobby photographers get their money's worth here, motives at every corner in this former steel mill. In the twilight the whole charm with special lighting comes to the fore, guided or also introduced inspections are also possible in the dark and maybe you are lucky and you can enjoy a wonderful sunset on top of the blast furnace. A snack is also possible. Diving in the gasometer and climbing in the former bunkers is unfortunately reserved for club members.
